Martha’s Vineyard Hospital will not renew the lease for the Red House when it ends next spring, leaving the Island’s only peer recovery center searching for a new home.

About a mile west of the post office on the Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Road, a new neighborhood is taking shape with a $68 million nursing home at its heart.

Officials couldn't say how many jobs would be cut, or if any Martha's Vineyard Hospital jobs would be lost.

Martha’s Vineyard Hospital was one of 19 entities honored at the State House last week for their ongoing efforts to curb energy use, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and guide the Commonwealth to a net zero future.

Dermatologist Dr. Michael Bigby is retiring after 35 years of providing care on the Island. On Friday, family, friends and colleagues gathered at Martha’s Vineyard Hospital to celebrate him.

Nurses at Martha’s Vineyard Hospital reached an agreement with management last month on a new union contract, staving off the chance of a one-day nurses’ strike that had previously been authorized. 

The two parties settled contract negotiations in November and the union voted on Dec. 5 to ratify the contract, which includes pay raises and changes to the union’s insurance. Laura Hilliard, a registered nurse at the hospital and the chair of the bargaining unit, said the nurses were pushing for change to make it easier for nurses to stay long-term at the hospital.
